Dublin, Ohio - Intersport Racing announced today Star Mazda veteran John
Faulkner will join Champ Car Atlantic star Ryan Lewis in the team's
second LMP1 car as driver for the Acura Sports Car Challenge July 17-19
at Mid-Ohio in the 2008 American Le Mans Series.

Lewis will be behind the wheel for the balance of the season while
Faulkner is slated to drive at Mid-Ohio, Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta
and the Monterey Sports Car Championships at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
Jon and Clint Field and Richard Berry will continue as drivers of the No.
37 Very Berry Exotics entry. The trio is fresh off a second place finish
in the Utah Grand Prix at Miller Motorsports Park, having led the race
overall for a brief period.

Faulkner began racing in 1995, winning various national races in Spec
Racer Ford, C Sports Racer and Mazda up until 1998. He then competed in
the American City Racing League in a Toyota WSR Sport Racer, claiming the
championship and winning several races. The 2003 season saw Faulkner step
into the Star Mazda Series, where he won the Masters division. He also
placed second in 2005 and 2006. Last year, Faulkner tested Velocity
Motorsports' Lola B06/10, which is now Intersport's No. 37 car.

Intersport Racing announced earlier this month that it will field a
second Lola prototype in the American Le Mans Series starting at the
Acura Sports Car Challenge at Mid-Ohio on July 17-19. The Ohio-based
squad has purchased Team Cytosport's former Lola B06/10 AER and will run
it alongside its other ex-Dyson Lola. Champ Car Atlantic star Ryan Lewis
will be joined by Star Mazda veteran John Faulkner as drivers for the
Mid-Ohio round.

This isn't the first time Intersport has run two cars in the Series. In
2004, the team fielded a Lola B160 Judd and a LMP2 Lola B2K/40 Judd. That
year, Clint and co-driver Robin Liddell combined to win six races,
finishing runner-up in the P2 drivers and teams' championship. The
following season, Clint scored five class victories en route to the P2
class championship. More success may just be right around the corner for
the ever-expanding team.

Attending a test session this week where both drivers performed well in
the car, team owner Clint Field expressed is confidence in the direction
of the Intersport Racing expansion.

"We definitely feel the momentum is building, especially after our good
run in Utah," Clint added. "Now with the addition of Ryan and John, the
team will be elevated to a whole new level. Ryan's past experience in
Atlantics and John's success in Star Mazda will help make Intersport a
serious contender at every race."
